Hitting your goals doesn’t have to be sooooo complicated - and in fact, it can be SUPER simple and way more fun to go after what you want. I find that the more people I talk to about their businesses and creating their ideal lifestyles, the more I find out that they’re skipping an essential step in working with the Universe….   ASKING for what they want + being totally CLEAR on what they want!   The worst culprit of this?   Yep. I make things complicated sometimes, and complication comes from lack of CLARITY.   But when you’re clear about what you want and why, you can ask the Universe to help you out.   In this week’s episode of the Adventure Knocks! Podcast, learn more about my own experiences. They’re kinda funny :)   P.S. If you’re interested in the 30-day program that I mentioned, Savvy Sprint, jump on a free call with me HERE. We’ll talk about how to do LESS wayyyy better and how to show up more without working 24/7 so you can grow your income and impact by double in 30 days.   P.P.S. My newest group coaching program is coming out in March, and so is my Mastermind! If you’re interested in either one of those experiences, book a call with me NOW to learn more!   Join the waitlist for the group program (so you can be the first to know about it AND get in on early bird pricing).   Book a call to chat more about the Mastermind (a high-impact experience meshing tight-knit group calls with 1:1 support.)   To that life of adventure and changing the world!   Xoxo, Allison

This is by far the #1 complaint I see from seasoned entrepreneurs or service-providers (VAs, creatives, etc) who come to me to create the life they want:   “I started my business to have financial freedom… and I’m glad that I did! But now I’m realizing that I’m just not… in love with my business! I am ready to love what I do and how I do it more… but I’m afraid to make the shift to something new.”   In today’s episode of the Adventure Knocks Podcast, we’re talking about how to make that shift from your Zone of Excellence to in your Zone of Genius (that place where you love each and every SECOND of your work, because your work matches the 3 points that the most successful business owners need… Listen to find out what they are! :)   P.S. If you loved this episode, and you’re ready to work in your Genius while potentially doubling you impact and income in a way that feels GOOD and doesn’t have you busting ass 24/7, check out the 30-Day Savvy Sprint experience I’ve designed JUST for a handful of entrepreneurs like you!

I just burned down my content plans for the next 6 months and restructured EVERYTHING. Learn more about why I did and what you’ll see and hear more of from me this year online, on the Adventure Knocks podcast, on Facebook and on my blog.   We’ll start to talk more about how to KNOW if your content plans need to change, or how you know it’s time to make a business pivot.   This new direction tugs at my heart, delivers value, flows through my strengths, and is strategically aligned with plans.   More importantly it resonates with my mind, body and soul. That's when your content and your message will get really freaking good.   This feels limitless, expansive, full and deeeeep. It creates an experience rather than just a "how to".   It's helpful and hella fun to create.   Good content isn't just about making money. It's about loving yourself enough to speak to what You feel called to do and be this year.   It feels so good and raw, but so right!

Be vulnerable and transparent, and you’ll touch the hearts of the people you most need to support with your unique gifts.   Butttt, what if you kind of want to throw up every time you even think about posting something that makes you look less than perfect? … Do you stress that people will see how much you really don’t have your shit together? … Do you get that inkling to share a REALLY bold message, but then you freak out and delete the exact message you’d spent an hour and a half typing?   Sharing your truth is a huge part of standing out online, reaching your audience, and giving others permission to be themselves…   And SOOO much more.   So in this episode, I’m sharing my tips for doing that, and why you need to.   *This recording was originally from a LIVE I did for my private Facebook Group for Courageous Game-Changing Entrepreneurs.

Do you sometimes feel like you’re wobbly on your feet? Like you aren’t pretty enough, smart enough, savvy enough, popular enough, quick enough, supported enough, skinny enough, etc to accomplish your goals? I hear you. #beenthere Of course, because this topic affects EVERYONE, I had to bring on Megan Hale, a friend of mine who is an Enoughness Coach and Podcast Host of the Enoughness Revolution.

Building your business and going about your day-to-day should feel good. If things are "hard" or feeling "complicated" then it's a good sign that you could use some time reconnecting with what would bring you joy or peace. You know what else makes me feel really good, though? FEAR. Fear is exhilarating. It's exciting. It means I'm headed toward growth... usually. There are 2 types of Fear (in my book). Fear that leads to GROWTH Fear that leads to SHRINKING So how do you embrace your fears and act anyway? How do you know when you're making the right decision? How do you know when to follow the butterflies? Learn more about embracing FEAR and acting out of FAITH on Episode 47 of the the Adventure Knocks Podcast!

Are things happening TO you, or FOR you? That’s today’s big question that I’m answering on the Adventure Knocks podcast!   If you’re in the entrepreneurial world, you may have come across some pretty spiritual entrepreneurs who talk about the universe, or energy, god, even Gaia or Source.   Just how much does this other energy out there play a part in your business, your wealth, health or personal prosperity?   Let’s talk more about how to work with the Big U to create more joy + ease as a purpose-driven entrepreneur.   P.S. Are you feeling stuck or stalled and you just need a bit more momentum in your business? Buttt…. Maybe you don’t have more time, energy, or resources to invest?

You’ve been wondering how to have faith and feel in the flow while still working from a structure or a plan as you build your business.   Wait… have a PLAN… and just have “faith” that things will work out? That seems counterproductive to set a plan and let it go… or is it?   I've been curious about this too, and over the last two years I've been going through a pretty powerful spiritual journey which I'll share a little bit more on today's episode of the Adventure Knocks Podcast!   I’ll share a few questions that you can ask yourself if you are ready to feel more in flow, or create a little bit more space for openness or creativity... but you tend to feel very attached to structure or system or plan.   These are questions I personally ask myself and that I ask a lot of my client who are very ambitious in structure people as well.   Don't forget that we have the Create Major Momentum Truth or Dare Challenge starting on MONDAY, December 5! It's totally free so join us and learn how to use what you've already got to create more impact and income faster (without investing more time, money or sanity.)   Sign up + hop into my facebook group for the daily prompts, live trainings, and to hang with the other people participating! >>> bit.ly/build-momentum

There is a TON of pressure to work, work, work, even when we know we need to slow the f*ck down so we can enjoy our lives.   The amazing thing is that SO many people reach out to me and ask how I could possibly be done working by 1pm everyday?  How do I do client calls, create content and work on my marketing… and then be home with my son every day?

Think about a movie you loved - I’ll bet you imagine yourself in it, living it. The story draws you in every time you watch it, and you can’t seem to get your head out of it.   That’s what powerful storytelling can do; create connection.   We LOVE hearing the hero’s journey. We love hearing tales of transformation. But it’s scary to share our personal journey sometimes… What will people say? What if someone hates me? What if I look like an idiot? How do I know what parts to tell? How do I tell this and still look like an expert? I’m sure people will get tired of hearing it… how do I talk about it over and over in different ways?   Learn the 3 things you can do to harness your story in today’s episode!   If you’re ready to truly share your story, your mission, your vision, your message and enroll people in changing their lives, CALL THEM IN.   Learn how to really grow your audience and your impact by joining my free Grow Your Audience + Impact 5-day Challenge.   P.S.

Have you ever had a decision you had to make, and maybe you had a few equally good options to choose from?   This happened to me recently when I was thinking about which product or program I wanted to release next. I knew what my instinct was, but then I started to second-guess myself.   Ever been there?   Do you get caught up analyzing every possibility? Do you feel like you have to think about the options just one more time? Do you feel like if you just Google one more thing, or call your dad to talk through it again… then you’ll be able to decide?   But then you do those things, and you are STILL stuck feeling like you can’t make a decision?   Great business owners who create success quickly are decisive, confidence, and clear in their direction.   On this episode of the Adventure Knocks Podcast we’re talking about chronic indecision and over analysis, and I think it’ll help YOU start to make decisions and take action with confidence.   P.S.

“There are two paths in this life: creation or destruction.” Kevin Smith said that in the Keynote at Podcast Movement 2016 in Chicago. I had been having some severe anxiety that morning. Philando Castile and Alton Sterling were killed, and then a sniper took out several policemen in Dallas. I wondered if I should be at the conference. Why did podcasting, or any of this really matter right NOW? I should be home with my baby today. But I stayed. And when I heard Kevin Smith’s keynote, I knew why I needed to be there. We have a responsibility as entrepreneurs, as humans, to keep creating, and to spark change. But how do we go on creating and launching and writing, and recording, and marketing, and coaching? How do we go on running our businesses when there are such awful things happening, when we’re drowning in fear, or anxiety, or sadness? You’re CREATORS by nature as entrepreneurs and business owners. Creating is a pure form of leadership. You and I are called to keep on creating - even in times of pain or destruction. What do YOU create? Reconnect with WHY you’re here, and then listen into this episode. In this episode of the Adventure Knocks podcast, we’re talking about how to face the fear, and keep on going and WHY it is so damn important that the creators of the world stick together, and welcome MORE creators into our communities. Plus, grab the free guide to help you break down the overwhelm of creating and launching your product or program into 7 key phases: bit.ly/create-launch P.S.
